RATP Dev/McDonald Transit

In 2014, the City of Edmond, through a competitive process, chose RATP Dev/McDonald Transit to operate Citylink. McDonald Transit merged with RATP Dev in late 2014. RAPT DEV is a French owned company and they offer management, planning, and operation services for bus, rail, and paratransit systems. Their reputation for exceptional customer service and safety, as well as expertise in developing effective and efficient services, are just a few of the reasons RATP Dev/McDonald Transit was chosen to operate Citylink.

Benefits of Public Transportation
Safety

Public transportation is one of the safest modes of travel in the United States. In fact, riding a transit bus is 91 times safer than car travel!

Saves Money

According to the American Automobile Association, the estimated cost of driving a single-occupant vehicle is between $4,826 and $9,685, depending on the size of the car and mileage. The annual average cost for public transportation for one adult ranges from $200 to $2,000 depending on mileage, time of day, type of vehicle, or service.

Improves Air Quality

Public transportation helps promote cleaner air by reducing automobile use, which can exacerbate smog and public health problems. For each mile traveled, fewer pollutants are emitted by transit vehicles than by a single-passenger automobile.

Reduces Energy Consumption

Public transportation can significantly reduce dependency on gasoline by reducing auto fuel consumption by 1.5 billion gallons annually. For example, a person who commutes 30 miles each way daily could save an estimated 944 gallons of gasoline every year by switching from using a car to using public transportation.
